Undercharging seven years, passion gone

What if your next project paid what you're actually worth? Every creative knows the knot in the stomach when a client balks at a rate. You lower it. You hate yourself. You resent the work. This book rewires that moment. Drawing on behavioral economics and real-world case studies from designers, writers, and photographers, it replaces the old fear-based formula with a confidence-driven pricing model. You'll learn to calculate value, not hours, and to walk away from bad deals without panic. The result is not just higher income but a career that feels sustainable and respected.
